12 stylish mid heels that won't hurt your feet

We're head over heels

1/13

Ditch the painful sky-high heels, it’s about time you stop torturing your feet. Sure, high heels may look and feel fabulous when you try them on, but we all know that they’ll start to hurt or give you blisters after prancing in them after a few hours.

That’s when mid heels come in and save us from the unnecessary pain. They offer a perfect compromise and balance between being plain flat and crazy high. They still come with the glamour and elegance of higher heels, but just without heel fatigue and blisters.

There are so many styles in the market, so we’ve rounded up 12 pairs that are easy to walk in and will also take you from day to night in style.
